Kings Island News
On November 25th Kings Island's WinterFest opened for its 5th season since Cedar Fair revived it to the park in 2017. If you are thinking this should be the 6th season, there was no WinterFest in 2020 due to Covid closures. Does it now seem odd that the 2020 season with all the delays with opening, the delay of Orion premiering, and the loss of the traditional Haunt season is now part of Kings Island History? WinterFest being off by one year will be something your child will research on KICentral 10 years from now to debunk another friend debating with them that he is wrong with his count of the number of seasons it has been running.
This year's opening night happened to be quite mild with it being in the mid 50's when the park opened at 5:00 PM. With the milder temperatures, this may have been the most attended opening night of WinterFest I have seen in the 6 opening nights that I have attended. That did not slow anyone down from having a good time for the evening. There is so much to take in, look at, watch, hear, taste, and just enjoy being outside at one of our favorite places to attend. I did not get on a single ride from arrival to leaving. I did not miss or regret it at all. I was entertained from start to finish.
